Ok, Ok, so I haven't spent much time on Activerain lately...  things have been a little nuts.  But I did want to give you a quick update with what is going on (assuming you are one of the 3 who actually care).

As you can see, I've re-designed my AR blog.  I won't be officially representing the Tomato here anymore.  The RET will always have a special place in my heart... I taught over 500 blogging classes for them in 2008 alone!  I still plan to do some consulting and coaching on the side for them as the opportunity permits, but I won't be officially representing them on social networks like AR anymore. 

Early last year I re-launched a company I had started back in 2002 called Searching Solutions.  It is basically an SEO consulting firm with emphasis on local search, social media & coaching.  So, for the foreseeable future, I'll be blogging under the company name:  "Searching Solutions".  I am insanely busy, but in case you were wondering, yes I'm open for business and would love to talk to you about your blog or website (I know you were dying to ask...)

So what is with the "nerd" thing you ask?  There is actually some history there that I won't bore you with, but basically back in '97 when I got my first email address, it was:  justinnerd@hotmail.com.  It has kind of stuck ever since as an online screen name.  Now you can visit me at:  Twitter.com/justinnerd  and at Facebook.com/justinnerd  or event justinnerd.com

So again, I apologize for my absense lately...  I have loved the Activerain community from the first few weeks it started, and plan to be here for a long time to come.  Expect "nerdy" topics like SEO, analytics, linking, etc...

Hope to see you in "The Rain" sometime soon...
